How wonderfully patient is the cat when watching for rats or mice

How wonderfully patient is the cat when watching for rats or mice, awaiting their egress from their place of refuge or that which is their home! How well Shakespeare in Pericles, Act iii., describes this keen attention of the cat to its natural pursuit!

The cat, with eyne of burning coal,
Now crouches from (before) the mouse's hole.
